The modern DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera and its mirrorless cousin are creative visual tools par excellence. If you've recently splurged on a decent camera, recovered from the post-purchase trauma and have shot some OK pics on Program mode, you may be left thinking, "Now what?"

Well, our photography courses and workshops will help you unravel the heady stuff, take full control of your camera and understand how each technical function has a creative purpose.

We will show you how to develop your photographic eye so you can create images that are visually strong, technically sound, creative, expressive, impressive and uniquely your own.

We've been teaching photography here since 1999. Our beginning, intermediate and advanced photo workshops and courses are based on practical assignments and hands-on experience to help you understand both the aesthetic and technical sides of photography.

But also, what we teach will give you a good platform for future full-time tertiary study and/or professional photography, and exhibiting your work.
